IMPORTANT INFORMATION About Your Library Card Account Sun, Sep 19-
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
About Your Library Card Account
· On September 19, 2010, at 8:00pm, access to your online library card account will change.
· To provide a greater level of security and privacy, you will be required to log-in to the online library catalog using your library card number and a personalized identification number (PIN) before viewing information about your account or to place a hold.
· Your new PIN will be the last 4 digits of the phone number on your library card account. To verify or update the phone number on your library card account, please call or visit your local public library.
· Westchester Library System encourages you to change your PIN to something that will be easy to remember, but that only you will know.
Please note: The catalog will be unavailable between 6:00pm and 8:00pm on September 19, 2010, to accommodate this change.
Westchester Library System answers your questions regarding PIN numbers Sun, Sep 19-
Frequently asked questions regarding the implantation of PIN numbers and how this will impact you.
Q. Will I need to provide library staff with my PIN for them to perform actions on my account such as cancel, suspend or place holds, renew items, etc.?
A. No. Library staff members will still be able to do all the same functions without the use of a PIN. Library staff will also be able to change your PIN for you.
Q. Are there any functions added to the online catalog as a result of using the PINs?
A. You will be able to access & use all of the same functions that are available now. You will also be able to change your PIN.
Q. Once I enter my bar code (Library Card Number) and PIN, will I have to re-enter it for each additional transaction?
A. No. One of the benefits of using PINs is that logging on to the catalog now opens a session. You will no longer have to reenter your library card number bar code and PIN for multiple transactions such as placing or managing holds and reviewing your account.
Q. In terms of the public catalog terminals, will my information remain available? Would I need to log out when I am done using one of these computers?
A. Yes. You should log out of your catalog session just as you would for any session on a website before leaving a public terminal. Sessions left open will eventually timeout, but you should always be encouraged to follow safe public computer practices.
Q. How similar will this system be to the system used by White Plains Public Library?
A. Very similar but not exactly the same. There are minor differences the current versions of the catalog used by Westchester Library System and the White Plains Public Library.
Q. What effect will pins have on Library Elf?
A. Once we have made the move to PINs, LibraryElf will have to adjust their system to accommodate the use of PINs. From that point, you will be able to update Library Elf with your PIN. Westchester Library System does not have the ability to make changes to LibraryElf, but will communicate this change to them in an effort to make the transition as smooth as possible.
